Chile-Rubbed Skirt Steak Tacos with Avocado Lime...
Chile-Rubbed Skirt Steak Tacos with Avocado Lime Salsa, served with a Lynfred Vin De City Red! This one’s a simple, yet perfectly balanced meal that can be whipped up any time whenever you’re feeling the taco bug hit you.  I also highly recommend just making the salsa and serving with tortilla chips (I prefer Scoops cause I’m clumsy) which is what we did with the leftover...

Ceviche with Tomato Garnish
Ceviche with Tomato Garnish, served with a Lynfred 2011 Viognier! Both of us absolutely enjoy science and food.  I like goofy stuff like that crazy molecular gastronomy and my wife like’s baking (which is science for hungry people, as a t-shirt I once saw stated). The fresh fish (or any seafood, really) reacts together with the lime juice to break down the proteins in the fish and for...

Lamb Chops w/ Pinot Noir Sauce
Just in time for April, we have Lamb Chops w/ Pinot Noir Sauce, served with (and containing), Lynfred Pinot Noir Reserve 2009! This meal was delicious but a couple of very important notes before we get to the recipe: 1 - Lamb is expensive.  Like really really really expensive.  It’s so very, ridiculously expensive.  So, that being said, don’t get intimidated by the quantities...

Nearly Springtime Chicken w/ Mushrooms
I swear I have no idea where the time goes.  Almost April and just posting the first March meal.   But it’s a doozy.  I swear if we had our top twenty list still around, this would be taking a spot from something else.   This meal, Nearly Springtime Chicken w/ Mushrooms, served with a Lynfred Vin de City White (what can I say? we love the ol’ Vin de City standbys), was inexpensive to...

White Bean & Green Herb Soup with Chicken
So since we’ve got this short month I’m rolling out the 2nd soup which was White Bean & Green Herb Soup with Chicken, served with Lynfred Vin De City White! Overall I liked it a ton…with some minor modifications, I think this could rival standard chicken soup.   See my few notes below the recipe. RECIPE White Bean & Green Herb Soup with Chicken From the Private...

Creamy Jonah Crab Claw Broth
We have two soups/broths/items you serve in a bowl this month, and I remember having a lot to say about them while I was making them…but since I don’t write any notes down, we’ll see if I remember as we go. First up, we have Creamy Jonah Crab Claw Broth, served with a Lynfred American Sauvignon Blanc 2011! This recipe would be better I think except I’m pretty sure we...

Garnishing Soups →
This month we have two soups:  Creamy Jonah Crab Claw Broth and White Bean & Green Herb Soup w/Chicken.  Both require more than your average garnish (for us anyways).  I was looking around online and found this interesting little article from All Recipes on soup garnishing.

Mango and Garroxta Empanaditas
And we’re back!   It’s only been a couple of months since we actually made a recipe, but it feels like way longer than that.   As usual on the new year I’m gonna try slightly different ways of posting because I bore easily.  I’m gonna start posting in-line pictures throughout the recipe, make more notes, and take more step-by-step pictures.   Also coming soon is some wine...

Name That Recipe!
So, this upcoming month we have Spanish Scrambled Eggs served with a 2008 Merlot!  I believe we’re going to be doing that this weekend.   Until then, I wanted to test a new feature called Name That Recipe!   See, I finally got my lovely wife to write down one of the awesome recipes that she makes when we’re going about our non-Tumblr-related cooking.  However, she doesn’t have...
